I looked for foreshadowing in the movie for this reason - JK Rowling 
herself said in at least one interview (A&E's "The Magic of Harry 
Potter" for one) that she got 'goose bumps' while watching certain 
scenes in the movie because they foreshadow events that happen in 
book 6.  She attributed these foreshadowings to the director, 
Alfonso Curaon.  She also commented that after the 6th book is 
published, readers will view the PoA movie again and believe 
(wrongly, according to JKR) that those foreshadowings were 
deliberately placed into the movie.  Curaon's response was that the 
books are 'intuitive' and he created this movie based on his 'feel' 
of where the books were going, not on any supplied hints or 
information (from JKR or otherwise) about upcoming events in the yet-
to-be completed 6th book.
